2021 NFL mock draft: Jacksonville Jaguars land Trevor Lawrence
By Brad Weiss
The Las Vegas Raiders held the Chicago Bears first round pick in 2020, but the Bears were able to bring in some talented players with their two second round picks. Tight end Cole Kmet and cornerback Jaylon Johnson are both Day 1 starters for the Bears, who may have a quarterback controversy on their hands this season.
Chicago brought in Nick Foles this offseason, and as the saying goes, if you have two starting quarterbacks, you do not have one. That is the reason they add North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance in the first round in 2021, giving them a new franchise quarterback as Mitchell Trubisky’s contract expires.
The Minnesota Vikings put together a solid 2020 NFL Draft, trading away Stefon Diggs for a second first round pick, and bringing in Justin Jefferson from LSU, and Jeff Gladney from TCU with the picks. Minnesota will fight for a playoff spot once again in 2020, so they will be picking in the second half of the first round, and they should add Marvin Wilson from Florida State with their selection.
James Lynch was a solid addition in the fourth round, as many experts had a higher grade on him heading into the 2020 Draft. Wilson could end up being the final piece of the puzzle for this defensive line if he is still available at No. 18 because he is widely regarded as the best overall defensive tackle in this class.
